Even the paintwork on his bumpers we did right here in my garage.

Travis should be extremely proud of this truck. This is the result of his patience and dirty/greasy hands about 6-8 days a month.
Diy at its best. I just don't have the guts to dive into the motor like you guys have. Plus, mine won't be paid off til 2013.

LOL, I used to shock Travis at how I would dive into engines and just take stuff apart, lol. He used to it now. It won't be long, he will be the same way.

If you look behind the FRONT tires about 4 seconds into the video you can see where the force from his open exhaust is thowing up alot of the dirt from the road like an invisible tire spinning out. Pretty cool and I didnt notice it the first time i looked at it. Nice video.

Yes Sir! We need to finish this beast. Tomorrow you might have to introduce the crackhead with your parts to the rear naked choke.

Jerry you will pick this up fast, as you are a gearhead. You should download the 2005 Dakota Service Manual and it will tell you everything about our engines you ever wanted to know.

Good news is my 3rd brake light is out in this video too... so I know I didn't break it while splicing wires for the new LED license plate frame. Now I gotta figure out how to fix it.
